70 billion! Wahaha finally explodes!
"The Path of Wahaha's Transformation: From Traditional Giant to Pioneer of Innovation"
Wahaha, the once dominant old player in the beverage industry, is now facing the heavy challenges of transformation and upgrading. After taking the helm, the company is undergoing a series of grand "reform storms."
On the surface, this reform has undoubtedly caused a great uproar. From the collective rights protection lawsuits of old employees to the internal turmoil at all levels, Wahaha's "chaos" seems never to cease. However, if we delve deeper, we will find that this is the difficult journey of a traditional large enterprise breaking out of its cocoon.
As an old enterprise born in 1987, Wahaha has rapidly risen to become the leader in the beverage industry over the past 30 years by leveraging its own advantages. Zong Qinghou once proudly recalled that Wahaha easily crushed competitors with its extensive sales network and excellent product quality, standing alone.
However, with the development of the times, Wahaha is also facing new challenges. As the market becomes more saturated and product homogenization becomes increasingly serious, Wahaha's "follow-up" innovation can no longer meet the increasingly upgraded consumer demands. At the same time, the impact of the internet and new consumption trends has also plunged this old enterprise into an unprecedented predicament.

This turning point has also become an opportunity for Zong Fuli to take the stage. As a successor, she understands that only by boldly carrying out reforms can Wahaha regain its former glory.
On the path of reform, Wahaha has encountered unprecedented resistance. More than 50 employees collectively sued, and 700 employees expressed their rights protection demands. This "storm" undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the enterprise. But from another perspective, this is the inevitable path for Wahaha's transformation and upgrading.
It is not difficult to find that the core of this reform is to break the bad habit of "big pot rice" and reshape the corporate culture, allowing employees to truly become "partners" rather than just "employment relationships." In Zong Fuli's view, this is the only way to rejuvenate the enterprise.
Of course, such reform will inevitably encounter growing pains. But for a traditional enterprise, this is already an inevitable choice. Only by actively embracing change can Wahaha find its own development space in the new era.As Zong Fuli said, she hopes that in the next 10 or 20 years, she will still be able to move forward side by side with Wahaha, exploring the path of innovation together. This is undoubtedly a commendable vision.
At the same time, in terms of product innovation, Wahaha is also facing a huge challenge. For a long time, Wahaha has relied on a "production plus sales" model, lacking truly market-influential new categories. In this field, Nongfu Spring and Yibao, which have always been regarded as "grassroots heroes," are gradually occupying the discourse.
Faced with this, Zong Fuli obviously has her own good plan. She vigorously promotes the market promotion of "QiShengBoBo" sparkling water and actively invests in ice cabinets, trying to expand brand influence through channel construction. At the same time, she also withstands pressure to replace Wahaha's spokesperson of 20 years, trying to change the brand image of more than 30 years and achieve a youthful transformation.
But the question is, whether Wahaha's innovation ability in new categories is enough to support this transformation? Nongfu Spring and Yibao have long become the new favorites in the market. If Wahaha wants to stand out in this field, it still needs to make more efforts.
I believe that for Wahaha, this transformation will definitely be a long and challenging process. But as Zong Fuli said, "No breaking, no establishing," this may be what this company needs to go through.
Of course, this does not mean that it will be smooth sailing. From the current situation, the various "chaos" within Wahaha have not been calmed, which will undoubtedly become a hidden danger to hinder reform. But I believe that as long as Zong Fuli can persist and lead this company to face challenges bravely, Wahaha will eventually be able to regain its former glory.
After all, this is an old company with a history of 37 years, and the value and innovation ability behind it cannot be underestimated. As long as it can adapt to the development of The Times and keep innovating, Wahaha will become the "new star" of the beverage industry.
This transformation is becoming a microcosm of the entire industry. How should traditional giants choose when facing the challenge of new trends? Should they stick to the original path or bravely embrace change?
For Wahaha, this is undoubtedly a difficult choice. But I believe that as long as it can be brave in taking responsibility and keep exploring, this company will eventually shine again in the new era.
"Wahaha's Transformation Path: From Traditional Giant to Innovation Pioneer"Since Kelly Zong has taken the reins of Wahaha, it is evident that the company is at a critical turning point. The high level of external attention undoubtedly reflects the importance of this reform. Whether Wahaha can successfully navigate this "critical period" will also directly affect the future development of the entire beverage industry.
The first thing that needs to be confronted is the various "chaos" within Wahaha. From the collective rights protection lawsuits of old employees to the internal turmoil at all levels, these "growing pains" have undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the company. However, if we analyze in depth, we will find that this is the inevitable path for Wahaha's transformation and upgrading.
In the past, Wahaha was able to rise rapidly, relying on its strong sales network and excellent product quality. But with the development of the times, this "production plus sales" model has gradually revealed its own limitations. Consumer demands are increasingly upgraded, and homogenized products are also difficult to meet market changes.
Against this backdrop, reform is imperative. What Kelly Zong is promoting is to break the bad habit of "eating from the same big pot" and make employees truly "partners" rather than just "employment relationships." This is undoubtedly a very difficult process, but it is also the key to the company's new vitality.
In this process, the backlash from old employees is also predictable. After all, some of the "privileges" they used to enjoy are now ruthlessly stripped away, which will undoubtedly trigger strong dissatisfaction. However, from another perspective, this is also the inevitable path for Wahaha's transformation.
Only by breaking the existing system and reshaping the corporate culture can Wahaha truly adapt to the needs of the new era. Of course, this requires a huge price to be paid, but for a traditional enterprise, this is already an inevitable choice.
At the same time, in terms of product innovation, Wahaha is also facing a tough challenge. For a long time, the company has relied on familiar products and lacks new categories with real market influence. In this field, Nongfu Spring and Yibao, which have always been regarded as "grassroots heroes," are gradually taking the discourse.
Faced with this, Kelly Zong obviously has her own good plan. She vigorously promotes the market promotion of "Qi Qi Bo Bo" sparkling water and actively invests in ice cabinets, trying to expand brand influence through channel construction. At the same time, she also withstands pressure to replace Wahaha's spokesperson of 20 years, trying to change the brand image of more than 30 years and achieve a youthful transformation.
These practices undoubtedly reflect Kelly Zong's determination and courage. But the question is, whether Wahaha's innovation ability in new categories is enough to support this transformation path? Nongfu Spring and Yibao have become the new favorites in the market. If Wahaha wants to stand out in this field, it still needs to make more efforts.
For Wahaha, this transformation path will definitely be a long and challenging process. From the current situation, the various "chaos" within have not been calmed, which will undoubtedly become a hidden danger hindering reform. But as long as Kelly Zong can persist and lead the company to bravely face the challenge, I believe Wahaha will eventually be able to regain its former glory.After all, this is an established enterprise with a history of 37 years, whose underlying value and innovation capabilities should not be underestimated. As long as it can keep pace with the development of the times and continuously innovate, Wahaha is bound to become the "new star" of the beverage industry.
In this process, we can also feel that this transformation journey is becoming a microcosm of the entire industry. When traditional giants face the challenges of new trends, what should they choose? Should they stick to the original path or bravely embrace change?
For Wahaha, this is undoubtedly a difficult choice. But I believe that as long as it can be courageous in taking responsibility and tirelessly explore, this enterprise will eventually regain its former glory in the new era.
Of course, this does not mean that everything will go smoothly. On this transformation journey, Wahaha will inevitably face many challenges. But as Zong Fuli said, "Nothing is built without destruction," this may be exactly what this enterprise needs to go through.
I believe that for such an established enterprise with a history of 37 years, as long as it can seize opportunities and bravely embrace change, it will inevitably regain its former glory in the new era. This is not only an opportunity for Wahaha itself but also an inevitable trend in the development of the entire industry.
When we examine this phenomenon, it is not difficult to find that it reflects a broader social transformation. How traditional enterprises respond to the impact of new trends and how they seize opportunities to achieve transformation and upgrading, not only concerns their own destiny but also affects the future development of the entire industry.
For Wahaha, this transformation journey is undoubtedly a highly challenging journey. But as long as it can persist and dare to innovate, I believe that this enterprise will eventually regain its former glory in the new era. This is not only an important enlightenment for Wahaha itself but also points out the future development direction for other traditional giants.
In this rapidly changing era, only by embracing innovation can one write a new chapter for oneself. I believe that as long as we have the courage to face challenges head-on, Wahaha will become the "new star" of the beverage industry.
Conclusion:
Wahaha's transformation journey actually reflects a microcosm of the entire social transformation. In this rapidly changing era, how traditional enterprises adapt to new trends and achieve their own transformation and upgrading has become an important issue that cannot be avoided.Both the internal "chaos" within Wahaha and its dilemma in product innovation are telling us that only by actively embracing change can we write a new chapter for ourselves. Only in this way can such traditional enterprises regain their luster in the new era.
Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires tremendous effort from enterprises, and more importantly, it requires them to face challenges bravely and continuously explore innovation. But as long as we seize the opportunities, we believe that one day we will witness these enterprises regaining their glory.
This is not only about the fate of the enterprises themselves, but also about the future development of the entire industry. We look forward to more traditional enterprises finding their own new paths to development under the impetus of this transformation journey.
